The May 1, 2025, cover of D Repubblica features a portrait of model Vilma Friedlander, captured by photographer Esther Theaker. The editorial project utilizes a close-up framing and warm, natural light to highlight textures in the subject's layered wardrobe.
Fashion editing and styling for the shoot were led by Danny Reed. The creative team included set designer Beatrice Bonino, hair stylist Joseph Pujalte, and makeup artist Min Kim, with casting directed by Evagria Sergeeva, Giulia Massullo, and Piergiorgio Del Moro. The issue was produced under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Emanuele Farneti.
